Tram lines are not powered, that would be a huge safety hazard. Most tram systems use power lines that run above the tracks.

    In some places they are powered. It's generally much more expensive to do safely so it's only done in historic places where overhead wires would ruin the place.

    I know It's the case in the centre of Reims for example.
